The OnePlus 3T is an excellent smartphone. The fit and finish is right up there with the best, the metal design is refined and even with a 5.5in screen, it’s a manageable smartphone to use on a daily basis.

نیا, بہتر Android آلہ کافی سودا OnePlus نہیں ہو سکتا 3 تھا, but it’s still right up there with the best

The OnePlus 3T is a minor update to a very good smartphone which improves on some key areas, but it isn’t quite the bargain the original was.

The Chinese smartphone firm onlyreleased the OnePlus 3 جون میں, but already it has been replaced. The 3T is practically identical to its predecessor, a slight colour difference on the outside the only sign that things have changed.

According to OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, the company had some improvements available that would fit more or less in the same package – a larger battery, faster processor and improved cameras – so rather than wait a year, it simply replaced the OnePlus 3 with the 3T.

But at the same time it has also increased the price of the smartphone, from its original £309 on launch, through its post Brexit referendum currency adjustment of £329 to a starting price of £399. Is the new 3T worth £70 more than the old 3?

Refined and smooth

The smooth aluminium body with a curved back and beveled sides feels every bit as good six months on with the 3T. It is a very nice smartphone to hold, touch and appreciate: there’s no doubt the 3T has the look and feel of a smartphone costing much more than £400.

The 5.5in 1080p AMOLED screen is great. Now you can customise the colour tone to your liking, although out of the box most people will be very happy with the more subtle colour mode OnePlus uses compared to other AMOLED-using phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S7.

With a pixel density of 401 فی انچ پکسلز, the 3T isn’t quite as crisp as top-end Android competitors, which have quad HD resolutions at the same screen size, and therefore side-by-side with a534ppi Google Pixel XLit looks slightly less pin sharp. Most will be happy with it, although it will be noticeably poorer for virtual reality applications.

The narrow bezels and curved back make it manageable one-handed even with the 5.5in screen. It isn’t quite as narrow as the current king of the large screen in a tiny bodied phone, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but it is 1mm narrower than the Pixel XL.

Longer battery life

The OnePlus 3T has the same amount of memory and storage as its predecessor, but has a slightly more powerful processor: سنیپ ڈریگن 821 from Qualcomm, which is used in other high-end Android smartphones including the Pixel XL.

It feels snappy, but not quite the fastest smartphone on the market: the Huawei میٹ 9. It doesn’t feel any faster than theOnePlus 3, but the battery did last longer between charges. It has a slightly larger battery, and software refinements over the last six months have made the experience smoother.

The big improvement over the 3 has been in standby performance: where the3 گرا دیا 12-16% overnight, the 3T dropped only 4%, which is very good compared to most of the competition.

Charging the battery is fast, بھی. With OnePlus’ proprietary Dash Charge power adapter and cable it took just over 70 minutes to reach 100% from zero charge, which is right up there with the fastest charging smartphones. It can also be charged using pretty much any USB charger, but at a standard rate.

Two sim slots allow you to have two numbers connected to one phone.فوٹو گراف: گارڈین کے لئے Samuel گبز

The OnePlus 3T also has dual-Sim support, which means two mobile phone contracts and two numbers can be used at the same time in the same phone. It’s a common and useful feature in Asia, but rare in the UK, and makes travelling or juggling a work and personal phone much easier within one device.

The fingerprint scanner on the front, which doubles as a home button, بہت ہی اچھا ہے. یہ تیز ہے, accurate and works great.

OxygenOS 3.5

OxygenOS 3.5 is a slightly tweaked version of Android 6 Marshmallow with some of the features of Android 7 Nougat.فوٹو گراف: گارڈین کے لئے Samuel گبز

OnePlus customises Android to create OxygenOS. Unlike some other manufacturers the changes are subtle, more refinements rather than drastic alterations.

If you’re a fan of the standard Android experience, you will appreciate OxygenOS. It has more customisation options, from the ability to swap the navigation buttons over, put them on screen or use the capacitive buttons beside the fingerprint scanner, to extended gesture support and tweaks for the dual-Sim capabilities.

But the 3T ships with OxygenOS 3.5, گزشتہ سال کی لوڈ، اتارنا Android پر مبنی ہے جس 6.0.1 کے marshmallow, not thenewest Android 7 Nougat. OnePlus expects to have an update to Nougat available before the end of the year. اتنی دور, it has not had the best track record for speedy software updates, but has got better over the last few months.

The camera is good and the camera app easy to use.فوٹو گراف: گارڈین کے لئے Samuel گبز

The 16-megapixel rear camera has some subtle improvements to detail and noise suppressionover the OnePlus 3. Overall it’s a capable camera, shooting detailed shots in good lighting and solid if not remarkable shots in lowlight. It’s not quite as good as the best from Samsung or Google, but it’s hard to take a rubbish shot with the 3T.

The 16-megapixel selfie camera is one of the highest resolution front-facing cameras available, and although more megapixels does not always equal better results, the 3T produced some of the most detailed and natural-looking selfies I’ve ever shot, even in tough lighting conditions such as office fluorescent strip lights.

The OnePlus 3T is available in either gun metal grey or soft gold with 64GB of storage for £399 or just in gun metal with 128GB of storage for £439. It’s also available exclusively with a mobile phone contract with O2 in the UK.

فیصلے

The OnePlus 3T is an excellent smartphone. The fit and finish is right up there with the best, the metal design is refined and even with a 5.5in screen, it’s a manageable smartphone to use on a daily basis.

It isn’t quite thebargain the OnePlus 3 تھا, and I don’t think it’s worth £70 more than the previous model. But with currency fluctuations the way they are and the pound down against the US dollar it’s not all about profit. It is still excellent value for £400 whenسیب اور گوگل کیequivalent smartphones, that boast less storage, cost £719.

With the backing of O2, OnePlus also now has more legitimacy as a manufacturer in the UK. And while there’s certainly room for improvement, the company is committed to delivering faster software updates.

You get more than what you pay for with the OnePlus 3T compared to rivals.
